Dortmund weigh key decisions on Adeyemi, Kovac and Sammer

Borussia Dortmund are assessing three major internal decisions involving Karim Adeyemi, head coach Niko Kovac and advisor Matthias Sammer, with the club intent on reinforcing stability across both sporting and administrative areas. Negotiations to extend Adeyemi’s contract are ongoing, and while Dortmund want to secure his future, talks have yet to produce a final agreement. Regarding Kovac, indications point to a positive climate, with both the coach and the hierarchy aligned on continuing their collaboration into the next phase.

The club believes there is strong convergence on key ideas and long‑term planning. Meanwhile, Sammer’s future remains open, despite his status as an important figure within the organisation. Dortmund have not set a deadline, preferring to evaluate the situation carefully before making a definitive decision. Collectively, these three cases highlight the club’s broader effort to maintain continuity and ensure a stable framework for the seasons ahead.
